Minneapolis/St. Paul Biz Journal hires Wittenberg to cover real estate

Alex Wittenberg

Alex Wittenberg has been hired by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal to cover residential real estate, homebuilding, manufacturing, advertising and PR firms, and diversity in business.

A story on its website states, “He’s a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and political science. While at the U, he was online editor at The Wake Student Magazine and captain of the Gopher’s men’s varsity gymnastics team.

“This summer, he was a full-time editorial intern in our newsroom and published various projects ranging from weekly Cool Offices features to breaking-news stories, and he also got a head start on covering his beats.

“‘In the short time that Alex has been here, he’s shown a maturity in his reporting and writing that has already resulted in valuable content for our subscribers,’ said Business Journal Editor Dirk DeYoung. ‘His excellent cover story about the growth of craft beer at the State Fair in this week’s Weekly Edition is a prime example of what Alex can do.'”
